The characteristics of China myth:
1, from people's mythological imagination in the early days, to the cultural classics in the pre-Qin period, from the Confucian and Taoist thoughts initiated by Laozi and Confucius, to the mythological and archetypal narratives recreated by Qu Yuan and Cao Xueqin, to the saints, sages and masters that people still miss today, to the subconscious thinking of witches, gods, freaks and Nuo advocated by the people, and the code of etiquette and behavior.
From the Confucius Temple, which is indispensable in every county and city, to the kitchen god, door god and memorial tablet of every household, "mythical China" is everywhere.
2. In China culture, the concept of "the relationship between man and nature" as the core and "the harmony between man and nature" as the highest pursuit has never wavered. This is one of the most important characteristics that distinguishes China myth from western myth, and it is also the internal texture of China culture. The value of myth lies in that it not only explains the past and present, but also foretells the future in a sense.
Sorting out China's mythology reveals not the myth of a single work, nor does it just combine the myth research confined to folk literature with unearthed documents and archaeological images, but seeks a unique intrinsic value and world view of China's mythology, which is the prototype code of traditional culture.
